Eligibility & Limitations

Blizzard SMS Protect is designed for text-enabled cell phones. You can link a Blizzard account to a single mobile number for SMS Protect. If you lose your phone but plan to replace it and keep the same mobile number, SMS Protect will continue to work as it has before, since it's associated with your phone number rather than the device itself.

A phone number can only be attached to one Blizzard account.

SMS Protect messages are sent via text. Messaging apps like iMessage (iOS) or WhatsApp (iOS, Android) are not supported.

Cell phones with prepaid plans may not work with the SMS Protect service.

SMS Protect cannot be used with Voice over IP (VoIP), and VoIP numbers that are transferred to a local provider are not eligible for the service.

If you lose your phone and don't plan to replace it, or if you want to remove SMS Protect while you find a new phone, submit a ticket.
